Extremum Europae

A border, which is explored by Paweł Grześ, divides a lot. Such border divides the territory of Poland and Belarus, that is the European Union and the East, which stretches away from the „main" Europe. On its both sides, different values and political systems, currencies, languages, religions and perspectives on the future are shared. The border, in a way may join, is of a special importance to those people living in its shadow, is the strongest point of reference to this area, is a symbol of political, economical and cultural divisions. The border is such a monstum, which is not for all to cross, it has its officials, protecting and regulating the access to the other side. (Sarmen Beglarian, Beyond the Border, fragment)
